The Haters Will Drool When They See Your FOXBODY On 18’s / Proper Tire Size And Fitment 

Get rid of the quad shocks and add a Panhard bar, Night and day difference for these cars.

I've been rocking the 18's on my calypso coupe for about 15 years now. Always loved them. Glad the 18's getting some love. Love the cars man!

These wheels with the rivets are 🔥 🔥🔥 I really like those gold mesh wheels on the retro but these too! Also let me just say the retro is my favorite car. I enjoy them both I’m just a red fan, and a supercharger fan. But both very nice cars! Keep up the great content

First of all love the content you continuously provide. I have a 347 in my coupe and purchased the performer rpm 2 intake. Would love a video explaining the hookup of lines on the upper intake and again love the content.

Love the 18” Saleen reps on my ‘93 Cobra - same sizing as yours. And definitely not the cheapest solution but another option is to run a panhard bar instead of quad shocks - have the MM setup with torque arm and it really plants the rear end.

Oh SNAP! Those look NICE! Thanks for this info Now I have another option to think about. I like those. I'm planning on new wheels this year. To bad we are so far away from each other. I have a Hunter Alignment Maching in my home garage. And I know how to use it. 😉👍

Calypso is looking beyond sublime sitting on those! These cars keep pulling me in even still!

Absolutely perfect on that color!!

I'm running 03 Cobra R's 17x9 all around with 245/40/ZR17's on my 88 gt. Only time anything rubs is when I happen to hit a pothole that I didn't see,then the fronts just get a slight scuff mark on the outside of the tire. I like this setup, because I can still rotate them for slightly longer life. Really like both the retro fox and the calypso! Keep on foxing around ya'll! 👍👍

Damnnnn!! The calypso looks soooooo good with that set up!!

I have the 17” mesh kit from LMR on my hoopty . 245 front 275 rears looks good .

Great content as always.

I just did fitment on Bilstein quad shocks on my 93 LX with J&M Jackers and SVE 10”x17” 5 lug Pony’s and they where biting the tire in normal installation and reversed installation. Others say quads aren’t necessary when tubular lower control bars are utilized. That quads counter wheel hop in stock lower control arms. I’ll have to post a video when my 5 lug conversion is done.

Great content on the wheels man. 🤙🏼

Also running, eibach 2" lowering springs all around and tokico blue shocks and struts. Handles way better than stock, even with almost 300,000 km's on it. Also installed new quad shocks at the same time as the rest of the suspension system. Simple, fun, daily in summer when not raining too much.

Cool! Thxs for the tip on the lug nuts👍

Great content on wheels. Subbed thanks for the info!

They killer. I’m diggin the Rivets. I’m running the black with polished sc staggered. Now I want them with rivets!

Looks awesome! Saving up for my own set!!!

I really hope they come out with this combo in a bronze or gold center with that polished lip !! whoo they are hot 🔥 gonna look great on my jewel green LX can't wait to order a set

The 18s modernize the look of the Fox and it Looks great. I’d love to see those Drag Comps on the Retro Fox!

Love the Saleen SC style wheels just got some for my car a month ago but I got the ones with the black star and machined finished lip in the 17’s they really set the car with style and stance.

Lots of info… great video BREW2L!

Thanks for telling people about the quad shocks. Bought my car PO had removed them long story short got on it and changed lanes by accident went home and ordered been great ever since. Edit also those wheels do look dope AF!

I like the rivets, and I LOVE the dish. Euro style, right up my alley.

Btw... I still have all 6 shocks and no rubbing.. I do have lowering Springs and pan-hard bar absolutely no problems or issues with getting them on my 86 Saleen Tribute.. 4 eye 4or life!!!!

I'm a huge fan of the anniversary wheels. Esp chrome. Currently I'm rocking the 93 cobra on mine. Not my absolute favorite but I have $150 and some time in them.

These wheels look awesome on this car!

Great work

Wow!!!👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻 I love those wheels on it. I’d like to have a set in 5 lug in the same sizes, for my 85 SVO. Hehehehe Hehehehe!! Thanks Bro for all the info. Great video 😎😎😎

I have the same size up front BUT I’m running a 285 40 R18 in the back on a 9.5” wheel. Mine doesn’t rub either and the ride is great imo. I posted a pic on your FB page maroon notch.

Looks stunning! Perfect job! That's probably the biggest wheel you can fit and still drive it on the real road!

Good clean look with those wheels! Yes, add about 2 degrees of negative camber and you will be set.

i run 2018 gt rims on my 88 t top with cobra IRS, I love the look

Hella clean love it

Looking good. Can't wait om the 65', and father/daughter project.

I like em. Would like to see the non riveted in 18" too.

I’m a fan of a little taller tire in the rear so it has slight rake. Think it looks cool. But this look really nice. I have a pair of BBS rk’ on the way. Just need to find 2 more for the rear

I wouldn’t consider myself a “hater”, as I like the look you’ve achieved there. In all the years and Foxes I experimented with however, I never found anything larger than 17 with a ride quality that was as good as the various 17s I’ve used.

Those wheels look right at home on the Calypso 👍😎

I wanted them wheels with the rivets. By the time I was getting ready to order them they stop making them. So I got the 17's silver regular and still love them.

Love your cars man !! Did you have to roll your fenders ? I have a 90 and I want to run either 18s or 17s with 10 wide in the back. Let me know please. Thanks

when i was younger i had a 89 red gt the rear end went to the passenger side which looked like a full 2 inch's. WISH THIS VIDEO WAS AROUND BACK THEN 05 06

That look is gorgeous

Brew, with those wheels Calypso looks like a totally different car. Just when I didn't think you could make an already awesome car look any better you knocked it out of the park. What kind of tire shine is that? Love it!

Hi Brew. Are those SVE 18's Gun Metal or Silver on the Calypso at the begging of the video? Thanks for all the videos you make. Very informative. Happy Holidays.

I remember back in 1998 I wanted to put some 18" centerlines on my 93 mustang. Everybody told me it couldn't be done.

The Saleen/Stern wheels look the best on a Fox!

Installation of window motor is what I need! Can't wait

Love how the 18's fill out the wheel-wells 😍😍😍 " 'dat fitment tho' " 👌😎

Perfect for that style!

Them wheels look great 👍

I personally Think the retro looks good with the gold mesh wheels.. Thoses wheels are money on the calypso ... When I ordered my series 3 wheels LMR got my fitment perfect...

Looks great with the 18" SCs. I just picked up a set of SCs as well. Do you have a link to the lug nuts that you are running with these wheels?

I really need quad shocks. my oem were shot. I have weld drag lights 10 inches wide.hope they work when I go to buy them

It's great we have so many choices! Personally, I don't like "rubber band" tires on anything, and the 18's just look out of pace on older cars. But if you love em, then that's OK!

I like the old school deep dish look, like the old hammers! I'm wondering what the car or any foxbody would look like with the deep dish front and back? I doubt it would work on the front being 10 inches wide, im just curious what it would like! I think it would look sick!!

Bad ass wheels bro!

Looks clean clean !!!!

Killer wheels and, tires! Thanks for the tech tips on that!

Nitrous Express sent me one of their hoodies and I love it. Might become a hoodie guy myself.

The 65 is coming to life I had a 64 1/5. Right shock tower frame twisted sold the car this happened in 1980

those are some.good looking wheels!

Those wheels will look good on either car!!

Clean set up. Hard to pull that off. Triple

Sweet brew2l I had 285 40 17 on rear turn quad shocks around but needed new tires an could only get 275s now could not find 285 in nittos ohwell.

Got the same rims... they look even better on your Cobra Tribute if you can imagine that then on my 86 Saleen Tribute.. . I do have an short unboxing video and on car video of the staggered 18" Saleen rims and my first really real reaction of seeing those beauty's out the box and in person.. the video does not do it justice... I get even more compliments then my 17" cobra R Replicas rims.. I didn't think that was possible. But yeah, ya'll get bored take a look..🙏

I like the wheels overall. I wish they could be a five lug setup to fit on an 23 Mustang GT. I'm so waiting to put a deposit on one.

Car been looking nice. I clicked on the link, can’t find the 18’s. 😵‍💫

I don't get too many haters with my set up. 19 x 8.5 with 245 35 19, front, and 19 x 10.5 with 275 30 19. Wheels are KMC district's, I like them. I also have a set of 17x9 bullets I like with 245 45 17s. To each their own.

What year is the calypso ? I want to use the same set up but im worried about clearance since my car is a 1990 and I was told that the 90 and older have smaller fenders. Let me know what you think please. I really love you’re content. Thanks

All I can say is 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

Looking sweet, love those wheels & tires on the Calypso, they should look just as sweet on the RetroFox, screw the haters! They have no taste.

Can you do a video fitting 305 rear and 275 front or any advice on that

Those looks perfect with Calypso. Right on.

I guess this weekend I'll get to see how bad my SVE liquid gold wheels rub😅 265/35/18 on the front & 285/35/18 on the rear.

I have 17x9 all the way around on my fox. My fronts poke a little & rub if I turn too tight. I only have a 245 on the front of mine. Mine are 99 cobra replicas I believe.

Those wheels are wicked!

I flipped the quad with these wheel and I’m still rubbing any other option instead of removing the quad shock also replace the rear shock and springs with the SVE springs 1.2 and 1 inch drop. Also the grease cover on the front wheels without spacer pushes out the SVE wheel cover.

I like 17s I like to run a little more meat on the rear tires for traction prefer 305/45/17 for better traction over an 18 but that’s my preference everyone is different 18s do look better tho but I like when the beefyer tire hooks

Imo rear needs a wider tire maybe a 285-295. I like a 275 on a 9" wheel. You are right the wheels need to change cars.

I just looked at LMR, and they only offer these in 17” with 5 lugs. 17x9, and 17x10”. What are the tire sizes on the Retro Fox? I’m thinking that is the way I’ll end up with.

I have a question Mr BREW2L, what is the right name for the "visor" on the hatch window on the retro fox? I'd like to experiment with one on mine

have thought of the maxium motor sports panhard bar for the rear????? , i herd that stops the rear end from moving side to side

i know its been awhile and it has nothing to do with this video, but do you still have the megasquirt in the calypso? if so how well has your tunes held up? i know you did several videos on it and it might be a dumb question but i was just debating on if i wanted to use it or not. i am nowhere near at a point where i would be getting it anytime soon but i was just curious.

This just in!!! Someone needs to make a 17” turbine 🔥

I just bought the same set of wheel, now I am asking what does spring I need for look like you? 1” drop or is too much?

I have 18x9 with 265/35/18 on my front and 18x10 with 285/35/18 rears! I bought the fr500 set from American muscle. I have 97 front hubs and moser racing fox length 5 lug rear axles! The is dropped 1.5” on SR coil overs and SR upper and lower control arms from American muscle also. The car handles like a go cart! I have a video on my channel if anyone wants to see how it looks.

Quick tip, if you are running kyb shocks and quad shocks, they will rub together

Ive got 17x9 on the front with 245/45 tires, lowered 1.5 inches and im rubbing the controls arms i think. 17 inch ponies from LMR. Help a brother out please

I have an 86. I'm not ready to convert to a 5 lug yet BUT I have the 5 lug wheels. Can you recommend a 4 to 5 lug adapter so I can use the wheels meanwhile?

what's up man...I cant seem to get any exact info being these wheels are rare, even from LMR... I called them today. I have a 1990 LX.. I just got these EXACT wheels but in all black from LMR. I got the combo with the Nitto 555's.. I want to buy the SVE coilover kit.. I know you said your fronts dont rub the coilover and you didnt mention a spacer so I assume you dont have one, but if I remember correctly you dont have a factory front end, that said what do you think the chances of these wheels clearing the coilover in a stock a arm and stock k member car.. dont know if any of that will even make a difference but I'm just trying to be thorough before I click buy now. thanks in advance for any response

I did this 15 yrs ago I'm thinking 19s now

My 93 have 2” lowering springs with 275/45/17 rear tires and it rides terrible, I changed rear shocks to strange adjustable and I think that made it worse any suggestions on what I can do to soften the ride. Thanks

Those are the wheels for that car it looks so good

hey brewl can you put a 275-40-18 on a 18-10 wheel instead of a 35 to get more rubber

I listened and got the suggested tire sizes now the back looks smaller than the front. I gotta get different back tires.

Hey man I found you some nice factory red seats for the fox!

Clean!

Are those stock brakes/spindles in the front ? Did you have to put a spacer in front to clear dust cap? Or did rim clear it
